Custom Earplug Recommendations?

I've taken some damage to my ears due to not wearing earplugs for the longest time at music festivals. I love the clarity of music, vocals, instruments, bass, and transitions when not wearing any and always tried to avoid as much as I can by standing in areas where I felt there was "less damage" being done to my ears. But now after suffering the consequences I am looking to make change to prevent any further damages.

I've been looking into custom earplugs and was wondering if anyone had any recommendations on companies that are best at lowering the bass without ruining clarity? Nothing like the Eargasms ones since I feel like these just muffle the sound completely. I got some recommendations on "Westone Laboratories" but was wondering if there are any companies that you guys would recommend from first hand experience?

I have no set budget and am expecting pricing to be around 200-300 USD.

Renting RV for first time at BC requirements

Hello BC fam, this is my first time at BC and will be coming from the east coast and decided to rent an RV for the trip. The owner was willing to set up the RV for us at our camp site (Terrace Camping). Other than the camping pass, is there anything else that I should be aware of or provide for the owner? I read that there is an additional Gorge parking ticket required in order for the owner to be able to drive it in?

Thanks for the help everyone!

[Product Request] Used the same routine for a year and a half with no good results

Hello, I need some new product recommendation please. I'm not too familiar with skin care products and don't know where to explore but Ive had the following routine for almost 2 years now with not good enough results. I believe my skin is hybrid between oily and dry. During the day there seems to be a good amount of oil that gets produced. I believe in the first picture these are sebaceous glands or pores? :

ANUA cleansing oil (Before washing face)

CeraVe Foaming Facial Cleanser For Normal to Oily Skin

Thayers Scent Free Facial Toner

Kiehl's Ultra Facial Oil-Free Gel Cream

La Roche-Posay MELA B3 SERUM Dark Spot Corrector (I used this for the spots that appear on the lower side towards my jaw line/chin area. After applying for a couple days they usually go away. But would come back eventually as seen in the 2nd picture).

Harmon Kardon Audio System vs Hi-Fi

What are yall thoughts on the Harmon Kardon audio system vs the Hi-Fi audio? Can any audiophiles let me know if the upgrade is worth it? I'm trying to buy a used vehicle and everything checks out for what I want in the BMW except the sound system.

I love bass heavy music and especially blasting bass heavy genres in the car while driving, is the difference big enough for me to wait until I find an alternate which has the HK system?

EDIT: I should've been specific about the trim and model: 2024 x3 M40i
